In part inspired by the traditional Chinese umbrella this 63,000 square meter development sought to develop two distinct, yet integrated programs. The large vegetable market in the center of the site established an intimate promenade adjacent to the privately owned shops and restaurants. These private businesses were spaces in which the tenants occupied all three floors within the modular framework. Some of the spaces become homes, others administrative offices and storage. Green roofs provided the tenants with an opportunity to cultivate a small garden and establish close ties with adjacent neighbors and shopkeepers.
